Jim, just wanted to let you know, I was able to go back to the original data source and find a field that was properly formatted that also contained the year I needed. With that data, your solution below worked perfectly. Never could find out what the original data format and after everyone's help here, still wasn't able to force it into any kind of format, so I gave up on that field and went back to the source to get a better one! Thank you, Cathy "Jim Pettit" <jimpettit@xxxxxxxx To: <mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> m> Sent by: cc: mso-bounce@freelist s.org Subject: [mso] Re: Access 2002: Date Filter Formula 08/17/2005 09:48 AM Calculation Help Needed! Please respond to mso ..... Cathy-- You gotta love the DateDiff function. Give this a try: DataFilter: Iif(DateDiff('yyyy', [Year], Now()) > 2, "Yes", "No") --Jim ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain proprietary, business-confidential and/or privileged material.
